But he, stretching his unarmed hands on high, exclaimed: "Hear him, O dread ones of the night hark how he blasphemeth." Then the crowd took up the word, and cried: "He blasphemeth he blasphemeth against the prophet!"
Rather, I feel that the recognition of it brings us face to face with the tremendous alternative, and that the people who were moved to indignation by His self-assertion because they recognised not His divine origin, and said 'This man blasphemeth'; 'This deceiver said, have more to say in defence of their conclusion than those who bow before Him with reverence, and declare Him to be the pattern of all human perfectness, and yet falter when they are asked to join in the great confession, 'Thou are the Christ, the Son of the living God.
The practical effect of this we shall presently see, in conjunction with other passages. If we pass from these precepts, given with such special solemnity, to the other articles of the so-called Mosaic code, we shall find rules of an equally immoral character. Lev. xxiv. 16 commands that "he that blasphemeth the name of the Lord" shall be stoned.
And let there be neither an altar nor a temple in any other city; for God is but one, and the nation of the Hebrews is but one. He that blasphemeth God, let him be stoned; and let him hang upon a tree all that day, and then let him be buried in an ignominious and obscure manner.
She also blasphemeth the Holy Ghost, in accusing and condemning the holy scriptures of insufficiency, for that she saith, though it is a rule, yet but an imperfect one; one deficient, one that is not able to make the man of God perfect in all things, without the traditions, inventions, and blasphemous helps of antichristian wisdom.
And the Lord saith, speaking through a certain Sutra: "My disciples that shall be, they that are sinners because of the lost way and love of evil things, it is they that shall destroy my holy doctrine." Whoso blasphemeth the doctrine of the Holy Name shall suffer without ceasing, for he shall fall into the depth of the Hell of Avichi for eighty thousands of Kalpas.
When they were on the roof they removed the covering from the inner court, and let down the bed, with the sick man on it, directly in front of our Saviour. When he saw him he pitied him, and said, "Son, be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee." The people were surprised at this. The Pharisees said among themselves "This man blasphemeth."
Also I say unto you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God: But he that denieth me before men shall be denied before the angels of God. And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven.
Only God forgives sins; and if this man says that He does, He, no doubt, claims to be, in some sense, God. But whether He 'blasphemeth' or no depends on what the scribes do not stay to ask; namely, whether He has the right so to claim: and, if He has, it is they, not He, who are the blasphemers. We need not wonder that they recoiled from the right conclusion, which is the divinity of Jesus.
And lo! some of the scribes said within themselves, This man blasphemeth. And Jesus, seeing their thoughts, said, wherefore do ye imagine evil things in your hearts? For which is the easier, to say, Thy sins are forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and walk? And he arose, and went to his house. But when the multitude saw it, they were astonished, and glorified God, who had given such power unto men.
